About this aluminium box section
Material: Constructed from Aluminium, this box section is made of Grade 6063 aluminum alloy. Aluminium is known for its lightweight properties, excellent corrosion resistance, and a favorable strength-to-weight ratio.
Weldability: The weldability of this material is considered fair, indicating that it can be welded but may require careful handling and skilled welding techniques for optimal results. While not as easily weldable as some other materials, it remains a suitable option for applications that involve welding.
Shape: The box section shape refers to its structural profile, featuring a hollow, rectangular cross-section. This design is commonly used in construction and engineering due to its inherent strength and versatility.
Corrosion Resistance: This material boasts excellent corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for applications where exposure to harsh environmental conditions or moisture is a concern. The outstanding corrosion resistance ensures the longevity and durability of the box section, even in challenging environments.
Finish: The finish of the box section is described as "Brushed Polished," suggesting a surface treatment that imparts a smooth, polished appearance with visible brush marks. This finish not only contributes to enhanced aesthetics but also adds a layer of protection, improving corrosion resistance.
Grade: The specific grade of this aluminium box section is 6082. Grades in aluminium alloys signify variations in composition, strength, and other mechanical properties. Grade 6063 is known for its good machinability and weldability, making it a versatile choice for a range of applications.
Dimensions:
- Height: 38.1mm
- Width: 38.1mm
- Thickness: 1.6mm
These dimensions provide the box section's precise measurements, indicating its size and thickness. The uniform dimensions contribute to its structural stability and ease of integration into various projects.
